Dick Cheney Endorses McCain

[No Passaran]

Source: Huffington Post

The Obama campaign gleefully sends over an announcement of a major endorsement.... for John McCain... by Dick Cheney.

"In three days we'll choose a new steward for the presidency and begin a new chapter in our history," the Vice President said Saturday morning. "It's the biggest decision that we make together as Americans. A lot turns on the outcome. I believe the right leader for this moment in history is Senator John McCain."

1. Barack updated his remarks set to be delivered in Colorado today

I'd like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington's biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheney's support.

But here's my question for you, Colorado: do you think Dick Cheney is delighted to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain's going to bring change? Do you think John McCain and Dick Cheney have been talking about how to shake things up, and get rid of the lobbyists and the old boys club in Washington?

17. Yeah, this ought to be good. "Cousin Dick" goes outside the family.

Dick, you're my older cousin, and I love you. But don't take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever.

52. Only the ill informed

Only the ill informed and ignorant support McCain. If you want to find out a person's IQ, without actually having them take a test, just ask them whom they support in this election. -

10. Honestly

Who thought that was a good idea?

[FVZA_Colonel]

11. This has to be a deliberate "fuck you" on Cheney's part.

The man polls only a little higher than syphilis, there's no way this could have helped.

[MgtPA]

12. On SNL tonight?

[Overseas]

26. Would love to see a bit about people congratulating McHate for the endorsement.

Have more and more people coming up to congratulate him for Cheney's endorsement and then for Bush's.

[soupkitchen]

13. At least Cheney only shot the other guy

Not knife him in the back

[dipsydoodle]

14. Does McCain endorse Cheney's

dick ?

[olddad56]

15. That is like being shot in the face for McCain.

[Liberal Veteran]

16. Obama must be so disappointed to miss out this plum endorsement.

[az chela]

18. Jesus christ the devil himself is endorsing senile Mccain

He probably wants to be Sarah's adviser.
Talk about same old same old

[L0oniX]

19. I hope Dick goes hunting with McLame ...if ya know what I mean.

22. I Have to Wonder at Cheney's Motives

Is there any video, so I could see his face and hear his voice?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

45. Thank You, That Was Very Helpful

I think, based on the way one side of his mouth goes down, while the other goes up, and by the way he choked upon saying McCain's name, that he is lying in his teeth. And the grimace when he mentioned Palin was most distinct!

If Cheney is hoping that the GOP candidates will win and cover his ass, he is sorely mistaken. They aren't winning, even if it took him months to grudgingly endorse.

Or maybe he was allowed out of his coffin for Hallowe'en?

In any event, I expect Cheney will flee the country around Xmas. He would be a fool not to.

[Dem2theMax]

49. Cheney probably had a hard time not endorsing himself.

For President. (Makes me feel icky to even type that!)

[eppur_se_muova]

50. Years ago, I posted a guide to interpreting Cheney's body language...

can't remember exactly, but it was something like this:

When he tilts his head to the left, he's lying.

When he tilts his head to the right, he's prevaricating.

When he holds his head up straight, he's dissembling.

And finally ...

When he closes his mouth, he's stonewalling.

[onehandle]

23. Great! When do the McBush people launch the TV commercials. nt

[Frisbee]

24. Well it looks like...

Sen. McPOW has clearly won the highly sought war criminals endorsement, with only Colin Powell choosing to back Sen. Obama (and let's face it, Powell is a light-weight next to the REAL war criminals). So to recap, McPOW has war criminals, racist, fundies, the ultra-rich and some just plain stupid people all of which are willing to put their personal feelings ahead of the good of the country and world. Leaving Obama with only decent people of all races and income levels who love America and care about the future of the world their children and grandchildren will grow up in, who want a decent job and a chance to retire someday, and who can see the big picture. I guess we're about to see what kind of America we really live in. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[crikkett]

25. ....McCain's poll numbers plummet as a result?

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

27. This would be the McCain campaign's kiss of death

if it didn't already appear to be dead.

[yurbud]

28. Nosferatu made a rare daylight appearance?

[eowyn_of_rohan]

29. THERE'S a torpedo!

[MrsBrady]

31. thanks for the nail in the coffin, Dick. n/t

[MagicKenny]

32. ...and Shortly After the Endorsement, Cheney Swallowed an Infant's Soul...

...yeah - HERE'S a ringing endorsement. I wonder if McCain's gonna be bragging about THIS on the stump. "Uh, yeah, Charles Manson just said Todd Peterson is INNOCENT."

Nice.

[machI]

33. I wonder what McCain did that pissed Cheney off that bad? n/t

[Olney Blue]

Cheney crawled out of his coffin to endorse McCain, but where is Bush? Is it groundhog day and Bush is playing the groundhog?

[judasdisney]

[Amerigo Vespucci]

41. I haven't decided who I'll miss less...

...Cheney, or his horrible, loud-mouthed troll of a wife. Maybe his foul-mouthed, bitter daughter. Maybe all of them. Yeah. ALL of them.

[SalmonChantedEvening]
